Tangentially related, but this seems directionally correct!

More precisely, it’s the poorest country in EU and ~80% of households (highest share in EU) have _at least_ one unit (mini splits). Most households use them for heating also during the cold season.

There are no subsidies and/or regulations around this at all. The downside is that it doesn’t look pretty most of the time (unless it’s a new build with infra for multi-split traces).

In that context, this whole “europoors” narrative feels like some weird psyop to me.

I assume you’re targeting western audiences with all this BS, because you sound really out of depth to anyone from the Balkans/EE.

TFA actually does this; “relevent” at the disclaimer in the end, so I assumed it’s that authenticity nod.

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 can be included also as top tier general + audiophile sound quality (‘musical’) + premium build and materials.

I did as well; funny though, I see uptick in its usage along the board.

The reactivity model fits well in real-time applications; perhaps SolidJS is better alternative in this context, though.

GP didn’t, but I’ve found the tips that you’ve shared helpful, so thank you for taking the time.

Perhaps Istanbul would be more accessible (and safe) for Europeans in terms of megacity experience?

If you’re open about it, maybe you can take a look into Phenibut — it’s somewhere between alcohol and lightweight MDMA in terms of disinhibition effects. It can help tremendously in the context of aiding progressive exposure. Do you own research, though: it can get into slippery slope fairly quickly.

> Bulgaria pegging to the DM in 1997 meant anchoring to a much harder currency than what the euro has become.

Look, it seems you have beef with Bulgaria adopting the euro based on your other comments, but matter of fact is that many people remember the hyperinflation and the Videnov winter — especially older people that were queuing for bread with all of their lifetime savings disappearing overnight. Hence, the board staying almost 30 years. What’s scary for many is that the board in its current form is just a law that can be removed with simple majority, e.g. the current stable state could be made obsolete in a matter of a weekend — with devastating consequences for the economy. Adopting the euro means tighter integration with EU only and it’s mostly irrevocable … sadly for Russia and its proxies over here.
